Php – IIS not displaying detailed PHP errors – shows server fault 500 instead

iisPHP

I'm used to serving sites from Apache, but I am now forced to use an IIS server.

A number of my PHP pages are returning error 500 and I can't debug because IIS is suppressing the error messages. I've tried ini_set('display_errors',1); in code but to no avail.

Errors are shown on some sites but not the one in particular that I want to debug so I don't think it is a global PHP setting, but rather something to do with the site settings for that site.

I can't find a clear answer as to how to enable the displaying PHP errors.

I've found this link but am not sure where to find "system.webServer->httpErrors".

How can I enable the displaying errors in PHP under IIS?

How about logging them instead?

Edit php.ini and set

error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE
log_errors = On

And either

error_log = syslog to log to the Windows Event log, or

error_log = location/of/logfile to log to a file.
